A Pitching Panel with the Editors of The European Review of Books
Tuesday, November 19, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Betts Auditorium
The editors of The European Review of Books (Sander Pleij, Wiegertje Postma, and George Blaustein) will hear 3-minute pitches from audience members who’d like to propose an article idea for publication in the magazine. We encourage attendees to have a look at the ERB website to get a sense of the kinds of things they publish, which topics and styles excite the editors, and which fresh ideas might be a good fit for the ERB. A sign-up sheet will be available at the event, and we’ll get to as many pitches as we can.
Misadventures in Magazine Making: An Evening with The European Review of Books
Wednesday, November 20, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Chancellor Green Rotunda
The editors of The European Review of Books will share tales of felicity and failure from their years as magazine makers. The ERB, which began as a crowd-funded idea in 2021, was first published in June 2022 and has continued to grow, attracting new readers of all backgrounds across the globe. In this playful conversation, the editors will feature some of the more painful episodes in the ERB’s history and ideas about how not to make a magazine.
